the new girl... - Wednesday, August 11 2004

hobbit woman is going on holiday next week ^o^ (*big sigh of emotional relief*), AND they got a replacement to back-fill for her while she's gone. psssh...like she has anything to do anyway! (other than hork and laugh over the phone, bleghh...*shudder*) so i'll be free from the 3-foot-terror for a week. that should be reason enough to celebrate shouldn't it? yes, but the deal just got a lil sweeter...her replacement just came in today; shannon ford. hmm...i had a g/f of the same name before. she seems nice, i can hear the hobbit's overbearing vocals through the wall as she tries to explain her "extremely busy job" to the new recruit. poor girl. hobbit hasn't taken the time to introduce her to everyone else in the office yet, but we exchanged polite glances through my window as i saw them walking past my office before going into the "hobbit's lair". i can hear hobbit now (man is she loud!)...they're quickly going over "procedures", then she'll give shannon an office tour and do the intros. it's 1430.

uh oh.

!split-second decision!

do i stick around and wait to be introduced to my new neighbour? or do i take my traditional wedneseday break?

*think*:
shannon will be here all week next week. that's 5 days, PLUS this friday = 6 opportunities.

there are only 2 wednesdays in that same time period: today, and next wednesday = 2 $1.81 mcChickens.

2 vs. 6? nobrainer. scarcity principle rules!
